One Sentence Plot Summary: We follow one family as their lives touch major historic events, like the sinking of the Titanic and WWI, from New Years Eve 1899 to New Years Eve 1933.
Starring: Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook, Una O'Connor, Herbert Mundin
Best of: Opening a closing scenes make nice book marks...an optomistic young family at the turn of the century and the same family three decades later after a lot of hardship.
Worst of: It is always hard for art to comment on recent history. It loses it's focus as it gets closer and closer to the present day of 1933. It would've been better off to have ended it in 1920 or so.
Notable: The only Oscar winner not readily available on DVD. (I had a bootleg copy sent from China that was dubbed off of VHS.)
